Our Weekend in Review

Can you believe how cold it is outside? With that said, we had a great weekend indoors all weekend! Colin would have loved to have gone for a ride on the snowmobile but Daddy wasn't quite up for it with the "warm" temperatures we are having and I didn't want Colin's soft skin exposed to such cold weather.

So, here is our weekend in review.


Friday night I had the perfect vision in my head of having a family dinner (which we did and Colin ate 4 bites of green beans!! Big news for us with our picky eater). Then we headed downstairs to decorate the tree. One thing to note, the tree fell over last weekend when we put it up. So we got it all decorated and Colin loved helping hang the decorations.



We sat on the couch to read a Christmas story together when all of a sudden, crash!! Down came the tree once again, but this time with ornaments on. Lucky, we only lost one of them. Colin stood there going "Tree Broken, oh no."

So that was Friday night. Saturday Colin and I went to a Christmas party hosted by Erin our Daycare lady and her mom that also does daycare. We had a great time. Santa made a visit and Colin still wasn't real excited to get close to him.


Saturday evening we had a great night just being home together. One thing to note, Colin went on the potty for the third time on Saturday! He's doing great just telling us when he needs to go potty and after sitting down within a minute or so he goes. I can only hope this is a sign of potty training going well for us some day.


(Aimee- Seems to me like this will be great black mail with Colin and Carson when they go out on there first dates! I seem to remember seeing a very similar picture of Carson a few weeks ago:))

Sunday we tried a new church in downtown Hanover. Colin did great going to the nursery and Scott and I enjoyed the service.

After nap on Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Geach's house to see Auntie and Uncle that were in town for the weekend. We ate pizza, Colin placed his hand print on our tree skirts (great Christmas idea I can share with anyone who is interested) and then we decided that Grandma should try cutting Colin's hair. She always cuts the boy's hair (Scott, Jason and Jim) so why not Colin's! He did wonderful. With the help of Auntie, Grandma, myself and a cartoon show on TV, it was a success. Grandma said that Colin was her best client yet. And she did a great job. Here is a picture of his new do.






Next weekend begins the rush of Christmas for us, so this was a well needed relaxing weekend for all of us.

Hope everyone had as wonderful of a weekend as we did.

Okay, first of all, YAY Colin for eating green beans, and second, HOORAY for being a big boy and using the potty!!! :)

Yes, Kelly, we're going to have some GREAT blackmail pictures for these boys. Carson's into wanting to wear Peyton's clothes...uh oh, hopefully not a sign of his preference down the road. YIKES!

On last thing, Peyton started standing at the window yelling "COL....ARE YOU?" every time she sees one of your cars in the driveway. I think that means we're due for another playdate soon!!! Thanks for sharing your weekend...sounds like it was a fun one!
